Managing IP Pool

The IP Addresses Pool tab of the Network screen (accessible thru clicking the Network link on the Infrastructure Manager menu) allows you to manage the IP addresses pool for Containers, thus, helping you to ensure a unified space of Container IP addresses:

within a particular Hardware Node if you have only one Node registered in Parallels Infrastructure Manager;
in a Virtuozzo group if you have more than one Hardware Node registered in Parallels Infrastructure Manager.

In the latter case, the database of the IP addresses to be assigned to the Containers belonging to all the Nodes of the group is stored on the Master Node.

The Pool Summary Information section provides you with general statistics about the IP addresses in the IP addresses pool:

the number of IP addresses from the pool already assigned to the Containers on the Node (or in the Virtuozzo group);
the number of free IP addresses in the pool;
the total number of IP addresses in the pool.

The IP Address Ranges table on this screen presents detailed information on each IP address range existing in the pool:

Column Name	Description
First IP Address	The first IP address in the IP address range.
Last IP Address	The last IP address in the IP address range.
Assigned	The number of IP addresses from the IP address range already assigned to the Containers on the Node (or in the Virtuozzo group).
Free	The number of free IP addresses in the IP address range.
Total	The total number of IP addresses in the IP address range .

To facilitate working with IP address ranges, you can:

Filter them by the parameters listed in the table above. To this effect, click the Show Search link over the table, enter the needed data in the field(s) provided and click Search . The ranges matching the specified criteria will be displayed in the IP Address Ranges table on the Network screen. To have the full list of IP address ranges back, click Reset Results .
Configure the number of columns to be displayed in the IP Address Ranges table. To this effect, click the Select Columns link and clear the check boxes near the column name(s) that you wish to hide.

The Ranges tab also allows you to complete the following tasks:

Remove an existing IP address range by selecting the check box near the corresponding range and clicking the Delete button. To delete all the role at once, select the uppermost check box and click the Delete button.
Create a new IP address range by following the New IP Range link at the top of the IP Address Ranges table or clicking New on the Infrastructure Manager action menu.
